In case your dog needs a new home at the same time as you.

From Anna Matsunaga, Team Momentum Keller Williams Tacoma


Firstly, I want you to know, I am a complete animal lover and we have LOTS of dogs and cats & have been blessed to be able to give forever homes to all but one pet we've had.  ( had to place her because no matter what we did she did not get along with the other pets, so we found a home with lots of love and no other pets for her)

With that said, not everyone is able to provide a forever home no matter how much they want to.  Sometimes monetary and health reasons get in the way.  Sometimes they rescued the pet from someone else, but never intended to have a pet in the first place.  There are many reasons why responsible pet owners might need to find a new home for their furry friends and often I find in my practice this coincides with a move they are making themselves as moves often mean big changes in their lives.
You've got a lot going on in your life now & your dog is trusting you to find the best home for them as well.  We have resources......

Are you in this situation?

If you are, here are some resources for you to check in to in Western Washington-

Sunny Sky's Animal Rescue-  This is a no kill shelter located in Puyallup WA.  I first had contact with them when we found a stray and after 6 weeks were still unable to locate her owner despite using every possible avenue to do so.  They did a temperament assessment before taking on the pup and in the end she found a new home.-- The place is run by a vet and volunteers....so if you are looking for a vet in Puyallup, I'd suggest them for that too.  You can reach Sunny Sky's at  253 845 8866

Another option for your Pooch, especially if he or she is older is Old Dog Haven of Western WA

They specialize in finding homes for older dogs and provide them a lifetime home if they do not find a placement for them.  You can email them as well.
Is your dog a senior?


Is your dog a senior and gentle enough they'd be a wonderful companion for a senior owner as well?
If so check out Seniors for Seniors. They are in Lynwood, so a bit of a very worthwhile drive for those in Pierce and Thurston counties.  Their phone is 425-787-2500 x 801

And finally if your dog is a Dalmatian a good contact is Puget Sound Dalmatian Rescue.

Wishing you and your pet a smooth transition to new homes. If you'd like help with that move for yourself, our team are experts in helping with your transition in a caring and skilled manner.
